It most certainly looks evil and perhaps deadly poisonous.  I like how it appears at first to be symetrical, but then upon closer inspection, there are some variations between the sides that add to the theme.

This has a wonderful fall feeling.

This is cute, and brings to mind warm thoughts about traveling with family.  Nice light and sepia conversion.

Please view large. Do you think this tells a good story? Does the

arrangement work? Does the backgound blend well? Any

suggestions for improvement? PS, this act was all her idea without

any direction from me.

The ivy makes an exquisite veil to compliment this beautiful woman.  Just the right combination of light and darkness make her inviting but yet mysterious and enchanting.

It's so beautiful, I wish I could be there, maybe someday.  Very well captured and presented.

I like the soft brown tones, and the pattern of the leaf veins.  Very tranquil and easy to look at.

This is wonderful - the lighting, pose, dress outfit and antique monochrome make a very pleasing image.

The photograph is beautifully warm and soft, although the important features are nice and sharp.  He looks like a kind and gentle soul.  I hope he continues to make progress.

The model and pose are magnificent.  The background is very unusual, not sure that it goes well.  I assume that the diffuse light in the upper right is intentional, but I think it distracts us from the subject.

Obviously, a lot of thought and work went into this shot. I think the end result is a big success.  I love the expressions, the way the son resembles the father and the color coordination with the balloons.  I like your style, and look forward to seeing more I hope in the future.

Your creativity is amazing.

Excellent nature story

Amazing capture.  For those of us who are not nature experts, and at the risk of looking foolish, I venture to ask, which one is the male?

I am guessing that these are fireworks, which often do resemble flowers.  Regardless of what you started with, I like what you have developed.

This is a strong portrait image, which you do very well, having looked at others from your portfolio.  It makes us want to know more about the person and what is the story of her life, leading up to this moment.  There is both dignity and sadness.  This is the kind of soul portrait I aspire to achieve.

I think my first tendency would have been to get closer to the house, but I think your approach of using the road as a leading line to the house gives us more of a sense of where it is and the surrounding country fields.  The gray clouds add to the mood and theme.  Nice work.

Eye think the image is a paradox because the knight on the horse comes from a different time period and he does not know what the phone is or what it can do, even though he realizes that there is something special about it sitting in the middle of what seems to be a vast desert.  He was hoping to find water and/or food before the sun went down.  The lizard is laughing because he has existed since long before the knight on the horse or the telephone.  The desert is his natural environment and he does not need to worry about water or food.  He must be supernatural because he is not casting any sort of shadow, which means that no harm can come to him.  His supernatural powers are at their peak when the sun meets the end of the branch as we see here in this image.  Congratulations on the precise timing of your capture!

Just having some fun, all in good spirit,

  Tony

The fog adds mystery and suspense to the soft green hills.  Makes me want to be there.

Tony, nicely done, thanks for taking time to make these observations and helpful suggestions.

Tony, I agree, your warmer rendition is much better, thanks.

Excellent capture at just the right moment.

I think this is gorgeous.  I only suggest that you remove the tiny bit of spider web on the upper left petals.  Small as it is, I find it distracting from what is otherwise a beautiful image.

I can see human bodies, faces and all kinds of other things.  The more you look, the more you see.
